The JET Rapid printer

2.2 The Speed Plus option
The
SPEED PLUS
option for the JET Rapid comes with a special
Speed Plus print head
, which
provides single line printouts up to a speed of 800 m/min.
With the special design, it is possible to mount the print head in a slightly inclined position. This will
prevent the printer from contaminations by bursting ink drops.
The print head of the option SPEED PLUS: The slightly beveled surface of the head cover allows an
optimized mounting of the print head.
Ink drops that hit the surface of a substrate tend
to burst in smaller drops and the substrate will
not absorb all drops
With a vertically mounted print head, the
bursting ink drops may lead to a faster
contamination of the print head.
With the beveled surface of the outlet of the print
head, it is possible to mount the print head in a
slightly inclined position.
The ink drops will not hit the substrate at a 90°
angle. Therefore, the bursting ink drops will take
a direction away from the outlet, which will lead
to less contamination of the print head.
Generally: the distance between print head and substrate should not be below
5 mm
in order to
avoid the contamination of the print head by rebounding ink drops. A larger distance may have
negative effects on the quality of the printouts.
